I can second that. Ketosis and fat adaption reduces the need for constant refueling. I have no problem going 24 hours between meals and exercising while fasting.

I typically eat ~12 meals per week, 2000 kcal per meal.

In addition, the consistent mental acuity achieved in ketosis is fantastic.




How do you feel after each of those meals though? Also what time of the day do you eat and does it affect your 1-3 hours after.


Sounds like a great way to self-diagnose diabetes. If you go into a coma, you probably have diabetes...

Uh, infrequent meals increase insulin sensitivity. Are you saying he's going to get diabetes?

Just because X causes Ketosis doesn't mean Ketosis implies X.


No, I (snarikly) said it (inducing ketosis) was a way to diagnose diabetes, not induce diabetes.


Probably easier to just take an insulin sensitivity test or get your Hb A1C tested.
